ASA State Championship Buckles

07-18-2013, 02:43 PM

I was told that our State of Illinois are going to be giving out Plaques this year instead of Buckles at the State Championship. What's the story here? I read on ArcheryTalk that "Some People" wanted something different. Who are these people that makes the decision for ALL? Why wasn't a poll given to see what ASA members would want? ~Curt Taylor

The vote was made at the directors meeting that some of the states wanted to get something different for 1st place since their shooters have the same multipule looking buckle. So, it was changed to have a 4 color 1sp place plaque for the winner.

What you would need to do is contact your state director and voice that you would like to see the belt buckles brought back, and/or a different look to them. These sort of subjects are what is presented to us the directors.

I think the "state" buckles are fine the way they have been --- BUT, the "Classic" buckle should be fancier like the "Texas" buckle to set it aside in looks from state buckles, cause the Classic is more a special event than a state level shoot.

Elkie must have his batteries charged up...thinks he's got the inside track on snatching the Geezer Crown down at Cullman...news flash Elkie...it ain't gonna be no easy road.

Right you are Carlosii, cause I'm back on my daily recliner meditation program, to make sure my mental game is at it's best. Also have been watching a lot of those Bowjunky videos to learn how to hit those 12s, so I think that Elkhunter will have his work cut out.

Yupper Carlos --- I well know how "uneasy" that road is --- been down it the last 3yrs, but this year gonna be different --- I feel like I'm 3rd Place#3 --- me n' Sonny gotta contest goin, that I hope he wins. Here I thought all these years, that I just got placks cause I only placed, figgered Jake n' the other boyz hadda "buckle hoard" growin at home in their dens. Oh well, can't win em all.

Here I sit bored n' broken hearted --- rainin cats n' dogs n' bows n' arrahs here today, so we didn't go to no shoot, but theirs anuther shoot tamarrah if it ain't rainin we'll blast off at first light in the mornin to go to it.

I still think a "Texas Style Buckle"'d be nice for Classic 1st place.--- them are real eye-ketchers.
